Heart rate variability (HRV) [ Time Frame: at baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Time domain - NN (normal-to-normal R-R interval), HRV index (total number of all NN/ the height of the histogram of all NN), SDNN (standard deviation of the NN), RMSSD (the root mean square of differences of successive NN), NN50 (Number of pairs of adjacent NN intervals differing by more than 50 ms in the entire recording) and pNN50(NN50/total number of all NN).

Frequency domain - TP (The variance of NN intervals over the temporal segment), VLF(Power in very low frequency range; <0.04 Hz), LF(Power in low frequency range; 0.04~0.15 Hz), HF(Power in high frequency range; 0.15~0.4 Hz)

Heart Rate Variability of Patients With Bipolar Disorder in Subsyndromal Depressive Phase
Heart Rate Variability of Patients With Bipolar Disorder in Subsyndromal Depressive Phase

The purposes of this study were: (1) to compare heart rate variability between bipolar patients in subsyndromal depressive phase and healthy controls (2) to evaluate the relation between the severity of subsyndromal depressive symptoms and reduced heart rate variability.

 
Observational
Observational Model: Case Control
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
 
Non-Probability Sample

Thirty three (10 males, 23 females) patients in clinically remitted state diagnosed with bipolar disorder based on DSM-IV criteria were enrolled at one outpatient psychiatric clinic and 59 healthy controls (23 males, 36 females) from health promotion center in a university-affiliated general hospital. We defined an individual patient as being in subsyndromal depressive phase when the patient had a Montgomery-Åsberg depression rating scale (MADRS) score of 10 or less and Clinical Global Impression severity (CGI-S) of 3 or less for last one month. Healthy controls had no history of psychiatric disorder and had no psychiatric symptom when interviewed by a board-certified psychiatrist.
